Does it > have to do with the fact that my groups are IMAP groups? Was the article already marked as read? The agent currently has some hard coded default to not download already read articles. I wrote a patch long time ago (posted here) that added a `read' Agent predicate to fix this, but that isn't backwards compatible and means everyone has to change agent predicates, which isn't good, so I'm not sure if it can be added.
